I do remember the XTM MMT and that thing looked pretty tough, but it did not gain much in popularity, and I have to wonder why not? This setup looks like a good competitor to the 5B, right?

I checked out the site for XTM and didn't see anything about a kit. Only a RTR XTM Rail. That is where the parts I got came from. Don't know if the ebay store got a hold of parts or took one apart and vacuumed sealed that bags. Each bag was sealed but the rails were already installed on the chassis and the diffs were put togetherl. Usually a kit would need the differential put together. I did read a rumor when I was researching this rc that they might put out a nitro version of it. Seemed the most grumblings about XTM is the availability of parts. You can always order them online but there are not a lot of LHS that carry anything (from what I read). This little looks and feels sturdy. I was going out under the street light ot check it out but of course if literally started pouring rain as soon as I binded the receiver. Working on a quick set of lights for it now. Getting dark real early these days. Here's some more shots of it. I will get some of it next to some other RCs so you can reference the size. It is the size of a 8ight B and falls a weee bit short of the 5b.
